Adventure of a lifetime! Exceptional coordination, customized tour, responsible tour operator.
I know that narrowing things down when picking a safari tour operator can be stressful, so I hope this review helps the decision easier. It took me some time when comparing options, and I am so happy we chose Africa Flash MC Tours & Travel! Peter, the tour operator, was very responsive from the beginning, and he was very helpful when customizing our 15-day Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda safari. He picked us up at the airport and got us ready for the adventure ahead; he is a very friendly, nice guy. This was our first time in Africa, and we had the time of our lives! The safari went as planned in the itinerary, and at one point our accommodation was even upgraded just because. As we learned, our tour in Tanzania was handled by Gosheni Safaris Africa, and in Uganda by Amos Tindimwebwa (Freelance Tour Guide), so kudos to Peter for the excellent coordination with these agencies to ensure a great experience. We are glad we picked Africa Flash MC Tours & Travel. They took care of everything, and the transfers between countries went very smoothly. All our 3 guides, Edward (Kenya), Samir (Tanzania) and Amos (Uganda), were great. They were very knowledgeable about the animals and all the parks we visited, and answered all of our questions about their countries, culture, and more. Most of our safari was private, so we hanged out with our guides as they were part of our crew, and had a blast! We saw the Big Five, and we were so happy to catch the beginning of the Great Migration while on the Serengeti. We also did a hot-air balloon safari at the Maasai Mara, boat safari on Lake Naivasha, and gorilla trekking in Uganda! We highly recommend this company, and we will definitely choose them again for our next Africa adventure! Thanks, Peter, for the wonderful experience! (PS: As a vegan, I was happy to find vegan options in all the places that we stayed at.)
Great tour, good price
Africa Flash offered a great service at a competitive price. The accommodation and transport was comfortable, the guides helpful and friendly, and we saw all the animals we'd have hoped for.

An incredible life experience
Peter was fantastic at organizing a short safari for us. We did not have much time in Kenya, and wanted a quick safari experience to take home. We ended up doing a morning drive in Nairobi and Amboseli, and it was perfect. We saw the big, Kilimanjaro, and our guide Simon, has become one of our most talked about people we have come across in life. This is a great safari for someone who does not want to spend a lot of time in the car, or who is short in time. We cant say enough good things about this company. we hope to come back soon!

Wonderful Beyond All Expectations
For me, I have long dreamed of going on a safari to Africa, but always thought of it as not much more than a dream. Africa Flash MC Tours & Travel made it not only possible, but provided an experience that was even above my expectations. I discovered them through the Safari Bookings website, and I know when you are looking at all of the options, it is hard to narrow things down, so I would like to help with that. Communication was quick and very thorough with the company. I felt confident going into the trip, and they never let me down. I initially was interested in them because I was a single and looking to join a group, which is what I did. We had three singles in our group and a family, so they definitely are able to work with all situations, and we all equally loved the trip. The food was wonderful. The accommodations just as described and quite comfortable. It was the safari itself, of course, that made the trip (though any of those other elements could throw the whole thing off-kilter). Our guide was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about the various animals and knew the park inside and out. We saw all of the Big Five within the first hours of our second drive, but also saw so many other animals, birds, trees... I cannot recommend the experience or this company enough! You will not regret booking with them.

Experience of a lifetime! Great tour operator, excellent value for money, good for solo travellers
Firstly, i found the price of this tour really reasonable, especially since i was travelling alone and wanted to go with a group to keep the cost down. There were only 6 people in our tour, so loads of room for everyone to see from the van. This wasn't the case for other tours we saw on the road which were packed like sardines. Everything went as expected, and we had the best game day at masai mara where we saw 4 of the big 5. Peter, the tour operator at Flash Mc Tours was lovely when my plans changed and so friendly. I ended yup stayed in much nicer accommodation than i expected on one pf the stops due to goodwill from the hotel owner, so felt like a real treat. I would highly recommend this tour as you see the best of everything.

Awesome safari
First of all, let me apologize for the delay in writing this review. The service provided by Africa Flash Mc Tours was incredible! Peter stayed in touch with us during the whole trip, making sure we were okay. We chose to do 2 safaris with because their prices are extremely cheap compared to other companies, even though we were afraid this would be a scam or mean average service but that was not the case at all! Their guides and drivers have a lot of knowledge and try their best to make your safari an memorable trip! We would definitely choose them again!

Well organized budget safari
I traveled on a 3-day safari to Masai Mara in Kenya with a friend. I mainly communicated with Peter before the trip. He was very responsive and polite. I had some issues when paying, as American credit cards are not accepted. However, Peter was organized and communicated very efficiently while trying to figure out how to pay using another method. We also set up an airport transfer and a 1-day hotel stay before the safari, which was affordable and very easy.
Once I arrived in Nairobi, everything was already set up. I was picked up at the airport and dropped at the hotel. The next morning I was picked up by our driver, Francis, who would be our guide for the entire safari. The van was nice with seatbelts. As for the safari itself, we always left on time from our camp in Masai Mara and on our game drives we saw plenty of animals. Overall, if you are looking for a budget safari, book with Peter and Africa Flash Mc Tours!

Amazing 3 day tour to the Maasai Mara Safari
We had an amazing 3 day tour to the Maasai Mara Safari. We couldn't start on time as our flight came in after the start time so we arranged with the company to pick us up from the airport and chase up to the group which was very handy :)
The ride to the Maasai Mara was an adventure in itself!! Navigating through pot holes, rough gravel roads, crossing rivers and going through local villages it was bumpy but a fun experience.
The campsite had a built in toilet at the back of each tent! We thought it was luxurious! Food was great!! One of the most tastiest egg omelettes i've had :) Dinner had a good variety too.
The safari was magnificent. We had an afternoon safari the day we got there and saw a lot of animals already, 3 out of the 5 Big Five animals; the lion, buffalo and elephant, as well as many other animals; the wildebeest, giraffe, gazelle, hippos, zebras, mongoose and antelope.
The next day we had a full day safari with a packed lunch. Our driver, Peter, was really good in the sense that he would introduce and explain the animals we spotted and also keep in contact via the 2 way radio with other drivers on where the animals were spotted and quickly race to catch it! Was exciting! and we caught the leopard which is rare at this time when we went (20-23 April)
We had the option the next day to do an early safari (or Game they call it) but we chose to sleep in because we already saw a lot of animals, we were just missing the rhino and a lion killing but we were very happy already :)

Safari experience was more wonderful than I could have imagined!
Peter did a wonderful job of tailoring our safari to our exact needs and the time we had available. Our driver was determined to make our experience memorable, as was Peter. Kibo Safari Camp was something out of the movies, beautiful accommodations and delicious buffet. We highly recommend Peter as your safari director!
